What it does

• Defines custom items with stable PDC IDs, versions, MiniMessage names/lore, enchantments, unbreakable state, and modern item_model components.
• Creates shaped and shapeless recipes with exact custom-item ingredients.
• Indexes recipe candidates by material instead of scanning every recipe on each grid update.
• Provides a localized in-game browser and virtual recipe editor. Editor previews never consume or duplicate player-owned items.
• Supports recipe permission, minimum-level, world allow-list, and automation conditions.
• Adds item tags and item flags, plus automatic version upgrades that preserve stack amount and durability.
• Exposes MCraftAPI through Bukkit Services Manager, including tag queries and overflow-safe item grants.

mCraft uses modern item_model components but does not generate or distribute resource packs.

Requirements

• Java 25
• Paper, Purpur, or Folia 26.2

Install

1. Put mCraft-1.1.0.jar in plugins.
2. Start the server.
3. Add item definitions under plugins/mCraft/items or use the GUI recipe editor.

Items use stable mcraft:item_id and mcraft:item_version PDC tags. Increment an item's version after changing its definition; old copies upgrade on join, pickup, or hotbar selection without repairing their durability.

English is the default language. Set language: ru_RU in config.yml and run /mcraft reload to switch to Russian. Existing language files receive new default keys automatically.

Item example

id: ruby_sword
material: DIAMOND_SWORD
display-name: "<red>Ruby Sword"
lore:
  - "<gray>Forged from ruby"
version: 2
item-model: "my_pack:ruby_sword"
unbreakable: false
tags: [weapon, ruby]
item-flags: [hide_attributes]
enchantments:
  sharpness: 6

IDs must match a-z0-9{0,63}. Files with invalid IDs or malformed values are skipped with a focused warning instead of disabling the plugin.

Recipe conditions

The in-game editor creates shaped and shapeless recipes. Advanced conditions can be added to the generated recipe YAML:

conditions:
  permission: "mcraft.craft.ruby_sword"
  minimum-level: 15
  worlds: [world, world_nether]
  allow-automation: false

Custom ingredients are matched by stable PDC ID, not display name or base material. Vanilla ingredients deliberately reject mCraft custom items made from the same material.

Commands and permissions

• /mcraft — GUI, mcraft.command.mcraft
• /mcraft item <id> — open an item directly
• /mcraft recipe <id> — open a recipe directly
• /mcraft give <id> [amount] [player] — mcraft.command.give
• /mcraft reload — mcraft.command.reload
• mcraft.admin grants all permissions.

API

Obtain MCraftAPI from Bukkit's Services Manager. It supports item lookup, tag lookup, ID lookup, overflow-safe giving, and upgrading older item versions without direct storage access.

Telemetry and updates

mCraft uses anonymous bStats metrics. Disable them with metrics.enabled: false. No item contents or player identifiers are collected. Disable public version checks separately with updates.enabled: false.
